Hi, looking for some help for older children. I'm godmother to:
6 yo girl x 2 (not related)
10yo boy

I'm really struggling as I don't know about kids that age. Budget is &20 each but I'd rather spend less.

Please does anyone have any suggestions?!

I'm off to post my Xmas cards and pick up the nes won't believe it til it's in my paw

Thanks for all the tips and ideas

Happy December everyone!

BrollyXmas · 01/12/2016 07:09

Having a think about 6 & 10 year old gift ideas...
pin art is good fun for all ages.
Chill factor slushy cups are great.
Dobble card game is fab for all

I tried to twitch on rhe Clinique but it wouldn't process through Paypal (repeatedly) so I took it as a sign and left it.

Two gift vouchers to buy and cash to put in a money wallet and I am done.
All wrapped and good to go.

Igottastartthinkingbee · 01/12/2016 07:34

silvertap I've got little live pets stuff for two 6 year olds. Mouse track and clever keet. Both were bargains at £20ish each (esp clever keet which is supposed to be £60!) but that was a while ago. I got them through Very.com but have seen them on offer lots of other places. Ive got a 10 year old a jelly bean dispenser, best price was £19.99 from tkmaxx but gumball machines were loads cheaper (but plastic) if you don't want to spend that much.

Happy December!

I need:

Two annuals, one of them strictly one to be decided
A bottle of rum
Latest now cd
And some choc oranges - missed the Asda deal

Also some Avon hand cream for MIL but that's under control.

Off to smyths after the gym tonight to collect the Nintendo!

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 01/12/2016 08:22

RJ I know the Private Eye annual was on Amazon for £5 fairly recently. I think The Week do an annual too, I might have half seen Smiths with an offer on them earlier this week I think.

RJnomore1 · 01/12/2016 08:36

Private eye might be a good shout. It's for my 17yo and I'd like something a little challenging. Thank you.

steppemum · 01/12/2016 09:09

Thanks fudge.

Asda was stripped bare of choc oranges on Monday.

SymphonyofShadows · 01/12/2016 09:17

I twitched on the Clinique too for me

Off to Aldi today to stock up the food treats cupboard as I have definitely finished gift shopping and I am not going to twitch again, no sir, not me, never.

VinoTime · 01/12/2016 09:39

Stock informer alarm has gone off for the Nintendo NES. Game showing as still having stock. They've taken my payment and sent me an order confirmation. Now to wait...

EverybodyKeepCool · 01/12/2016 09:49

My local Game is showing good levels of stock so if anyone is needing one I can get and post (if there are any left by then!)

Methenyouplus4 · 01/12/2016 09:55

Have I missed the clinique link?

Methenyouplus4 · 01/12/2016 09:58

Hunting round the site but can't find offer of eye set/ 5 freebies?

DillDongMerrilyOnHigh · 01/12/2016 10:03

Thanks for the filler checker Explora

Also, I've just received the EBay super hero cape and mask .Got it from a UK seller for £3.50 and it's really good quality. Arrived in a few days too.

CarrotVan · 01/12/2016 10:03

The Clinique offer changes daily so it's something else now

sherbertdibdab · 01/12/2016 10:16

RJ strictly annual is on offer at The Book
People not sure how bargainous but worth a look.

RedBlu · 01/12/2016 10:20

And Argos has cancelled delivery of the Mini NES on the morning of delivery!

Badders123 · 01/12/2016 10:25

GOT THE NES!!

RedBlu · 01/12/2016 10:35

Heads up, game stores show stock but it doesn't take account of what has been preordered at the store. Just legged it from work and whilst they have stock, it's all been preordered so none are for sale

RedBlu · 01/12/2016 10:36

If anyone can get hold
Of a NES I will pay over RRP for one as I am just getting to the point of giving up with it now

acsec · 01/12/2016 10:40

My Hype bags came - I got 2 sale bags with the 50% off on top so cost me £16.38! Not sure who I'll give them to, might keep them for birthday presents for DSS' friends.

Methenyouplus4 · 01/12/2016 10:52

What a shame about the Clinique but thanks for letting me know.

margaritasbythesea · 01/12/2016 10:56

Methenyou - the Clinique thing was an offer for one day on their advent calendar thing I don't know what the offer is today.
